From the Office of Institutional Advancement Dear Alumni: IN NOVEMBER, over 200 friends of Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts — including alumni, students, faculty members, trustees, foundation directors, members of the alumni board and community — came together for the College’s 115th anniversary celebration. This truly special event gave us the opportunity to look back at the history of this wonderful institution and to anticipate everything we will achieve in the years to come. In addition to sharing good company and wonderful memories, the celebration raised close to $23,000 to support scholarships for MCLA students. These scholarships help to ensure that today’s students can make the most of the educational experience MCLA offers, both in and out of the classroom. One alumna who knows fi rsthand about the potential of an MCLA degree is President Mary K. Grant ’83. In every issue of Beacons and Seeds, we focus on the accomplishments of a noteworthy member of the alumni community. In this issue, we profi le President Grant. Now in the eighth year of her presidency, she continues to oversee the evolution and transformation of the College. You can read her story on the following page. Thanks to President Grant and the dedicated faculty and staff who work with her, more and more students are coming to MCLA to take advantage of our academic programs, internships, service learning, and undergraduate research projects, and to develop their leadership skills through campus clubs, organizations, and athletic teams. Students know that the College will challenge and support them, and that our cultural programs, lectures, and campus events will refl ect and enhance their academic course work. MCLA’s value and academic excellence continues to attract prospective students and their families. This fall, enrollment was up by nearly 100 students. During Opening Days in September, over 200 students hiked up Mount Greylock. President Grant greeted the hikers at the summit, and invited each of them to face the experiences and challenges ahead of them with the same gusto and commitment they showed on the climb. As applications stream in and enrollment continues to rise, scholarship support has become crucial, especially in these challenging fi nancial times. The Advancement Offi ce has called on alumni, community members, and other friends of the College to dig deep in support of student scholarships through gifts to the Annual Fund. (If you have not already, please make a gift online at www.mcla.edu/giving.) This is an exciting time at MCLA. We are working together to prepare the next generation of innovators, leaders, lifelong learners, or even another future college president. Best wishes for the New Year, Marianne Drake Chief Advancement Offi cer, President, MCLA Foundation, Inc. President Mary K. Grant and Brian Fitzgerald ’75 at MCLA’s 2009 Commencement, where Fitzgerald received an honorary degree.

Grant represents the strength and accomplishments of so many NASC and MCLA alumni. likeĴanyĴleaderĴworthy of her title, Mary K. Grant, President of Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, knows how to recruit, motivate, and inspire. She is as comfortable sharing a story with a student or a cup of coffee with a staff member, as she is cultivating the vision needed to advance the mission and the excellence of the College in spite of declining public dollars. “Mary Grant has an astute knowledge of human nature,” says Matt Harris, a former MCLA Trustee and a managing general partner at Village Ventures, an early-stage venture capital fi rm. “She has a level of empathy that’s off the charts.” No one understands that better than Andy Mick, president of New England Newspapers Inc., publisher of the Berkshire Eagle, and 2009 MCLA graduate. In 2006, Grant approached Mick and asked him to chair the Berkshire Compact for Higher Education. Launched the previous year, the Compact began as a vehicle to support the educational component of the region’s transition from its manufacturing past to its future in technology, innovation, and the creative economy. The goals of the Compact align with the work being done on the local, state, and national levels to reexamine the entire educational pipeline, from early childhood to higher education and lifelong learning. Governor Deval Patrick’s Readiness Agenda refl ects many of the key components of the Berkshire Compact, which harnesses the talent and skills of key academic, business, and political groups to develop training and education that will boost opportunities for young people. Mick, who was fl attered by Grant’s invitation and certainly Commencement is an important time of year as the institution celebrates our newest alumni. eager to serve, felt compelled to say no.

  • Transnational Finnish Mobilities: Proceedings of Finnforum XI
    Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen (Eds.) Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen This volume is based on a selection of papers presented at Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen (Eds.) the conference FinnForum XI: Transnational Finnish Mobili- ties, held in Turku, Finland, in 2016. The twelve chapters dis- cuss two key issues of our time, mobility and transnational- ism, from the perspective of Finnish migration. The volume is divided into four sections. Part I, Mobile Pasts, Finland and Beyond, brings forth how Finland’s past – often imagined TRANSNATIONAL as more sedentary than today’s mobile world – was molded by various short and long-distance mobilities that occurred FINNISH MOBILITIES: both voluntarily and involuntarily. In Part II, Transnational Influences across the Atlantic, the focus is on sociocultural PROCEEDINGS OF transnationalism of Finnish migrants in the early 20th cen- tury United States.

Even before modern communication technologies and modes of transportation, migrants moved back and forth and nurtured transnational ties in various ways.

Part IV, Con- temporary Finnish Mobilities, centers on Finns’ present-day emigration patterns, repatriation experiences, and citizen- ship practices, illustrating how, globally speaking, Finns are privileged in their ability to be mobile and exercise transna- tionalism.

  • North Adams in Context
    Mill Town, Factory Town, Cultural Economic Engine: North Adams in Context Kay Oehler Stephen Sheppard Blair Benjamin C3D Report NA1.2006 Copyright 2006 Mill Town, Factory Town, Cultural Economic Engine: North Adams in Context We must examine social context to understand the community effects of a cultural organization. This is especially true for a newcomer to the neighborhood like MASS MoCA. Ethnographic and anecdotal evidence suggest that the most important signs of community development impact are at the neighborhood level. The social context of the community and the organization, and their relationship to one another, are what concerns us in this report. Drawing upon newspaper articles, local ethnographic sources, and Census and other town data we will provide a background on the development of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA), how it came to exist, why it exists in North Adams, the cultural history of North Adams, and a brief economic history of North Adams. The study of North Adams is a first step in developing a template by which we can study and compare neighborhood regeneration through the introduction of a new cultural arts organization. Through a series of reports we will present a variety of perspectives – historical, anthropological, economic, and sociological – to analyze and discuss the results of North Adams’ attempt to regenerate itself by collaborating with the development of a major new cultural arts organization, MASS MoCA. The tools we develop throughout this project are replicable yet flexible enough to allow for comparable studies in a variety of neighborhoods and communities. The geographic location of North Adams has shaped its history Stephen Sheppard 2004 We will see that North Adams, while economically and socially troubled in the 1980s, has a rich social history.

Dear Friends: he Parent-Child Home Program grew significantly for the fourth consecutive year in 2001 - 2002. We launched 43 new sites for a total of 130 in the United States and 10 in other countries and reached over three thousand families. We opened 28 new sites in Pennsylvania, supported by Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds (TANF) set-aside by the state. TWe added 12 new sites in South Carolina for a total statewide of 34 sites. We started our first site in Washington, another Proposition 10-funded site in California, and our first site focused specifically on serving homeless families. We are delighted that the number of new sites continues to increase annually, and we are equally delighted by the longevity the program has demonstrated in so many communities. Three sites celebrated their 30th anniversaries in 2002, and 49 sites have been serving families for five years or more. The communities that have adopted our program remain committed to it, and believe it is a critical component of their efforts to ensure that every child, every family, enters school ready to learn.

Approved by The State Boaed of Publication. ®l]e Cotnmonroealtfi of iHasBacliustttB. PiTTSFiELD, Mass., Jan. 1, 1916. To His Excellency the Governor of the Commonwealth and the Hon- orable Council. Gentlemen : — Enclosed please find the annual report of the Greylock Reservation Commission. Very respectfully yours^ FRANCIS W. ROCKWELL, Chairman. GREYLOCK RESERVATION COMMISSION. PiTTSFiELD, Mass., Jan. 1, 1916. To the Committee on Revision. Gentlemen : — The records kept by the secretaries of the Greylock Reservation Commission are very brief. In order to keep the public informed, and to make it easier for the gentlemen who may succeed the present com- mission, we place in the annual report facts and references which will give a better understanding of the work of the Commission. These references will enable all interested hereafter in the reservation to find what has been done and the methods employed in the general conduct of reservation matters. While the records in the State Auditor's, State Treasurer's and Attorney-General's offices will explain the expenditure of the funds appropriated by the Commonwealth, and while the annual reports of the treasurer of the Commis- sion to the Berkshire county commissioners will aid in the matter, it remains true that many matters of interest can be found only in the county press, — hence the references to the newspapers of Berkshire. Many inquiries pertaining to the history of the mountain and reservation are made of the Commission. These ques- tions can best be answered by the references given in the brief bibliography and references written for this report.
